Advanced Yoga Teacher Training in India

Traditional Hatha / 30 Days / 300 Hours Yoga Alliance Certification

This 300 hours Advanced Yoga Teacher Training in India is meant for students and yoga teachers who completed 200 hours yoga teacher training from a recognized school already. Advanced Yoga Teacher Training in our ashram helps to deepen the understanding of advanced asanas, pranayamas, kriyas, yoga nidras etc. This advanced yoga instructor training helps to improve both self-practice and ability to teach advanced poses and sequences, which are not covered in 200 hours yoga teacher training certification courses.

Practically, we prefer the students who completed 200 hours teacher training with us to come for this course. However, if you have completed your previous training in a different school or style, please email us your yoga teacher training certificate and syllabus of what you learnt, to ensure that you are prepared for our highly challenging Advanced Teacher Training, in both self-practice and teaching careers.

If we feel that your previous training doesn’t include what is considered standard syllabus, we may ask you to come for a two week Intensive Yoga course, as a preparation for our 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training in India, which can be challenging if you don’t have the physical and spiritual background that we impart in our 200 hours training.
